Celebration at Fazenda Ipanema

Today we joined in order to celebrate Bia's and Paulo's achievements: their doctoral titles.
It was celebrated at Fazenda Ipanema, a very calm and beautiful place, where children can play, we can rest and find some peace having our friends as company.
It was a very special moment, kind of magical, which we could enjoy together, talk to very gentle and intelligent people, and laugh a lot, which was what some of us needed, in order to relieve all the tension of these last days.
It was an opportunity to straiten the ties of friendship betweeen people who sometimes don't have time to know each other, and to change the idea that sometimes we make about them.
The barbecue was excellent, Bia's children ( how cute they are) and her supportive husband Claudio, Paulo and his friendly and pretty mother, and brother, sister, niece and nephews, all of them, plus all of us (their students), turned it in a very special day, to be remembered forever.
